Replying to Issues To Get IPB Running On Home System

Well, I am running Win 2k Pro, on a PII 333MHz, server software is Apache2 running on port 5000. Php is PHP 5 and MySQL is a clean/fresh install of MySQL 4.1.

I unzipped IPB, followed the instructions that came with it, when I get to the point where I have to enter the data to connect to the DB (DB is made with user and all that - thank you m^3) this is the error I get

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Lost connection to MySQL server during query in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\forum\ips_kernel\class_db_mysql.php on line 120

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\forum\ips_kernel\class_db_mysql.php on line 117

Any ideas??

EDIT -> found solution

Ok so this was the original code in class_db_mysql.php

   	if ($this->obj['persistant'])
    	{
         $this->connection_id = mysql_pconnect( $this->obj['sql_host'] ,
               $this->obj['sql_user'] ,
               $this->obj['sql_pass'] 
            );
        }
        else
        {
  	$this->connection_id = mysql_connect( $this->obj['sql_host'] ,
              $this->obj['sql_user'] ,
              $this->obj['sql_pass'] 
            );
  }
  
  if ( ! $this->connection_id )
  {
  	$this->fatal_error();
  	return FALSE;
  }
  
        if ( ! mysql_select_db($this->obj['sql_database'], $this->connection_id) )
        {
        	$this->fatal_error();
        	return FALSE;
        }
        
        return TRUE;
    }

The piece that gave me the error was

if ($this->obj['persistant'])

I solved it by changing the 'persistant' to 'default'!! And it works
